Blythburgh village stands within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
just inland from Southwold on
the Heritage Coast of north-east Suffolk. The tidal section of the River Blyth flows
just to the north of the village on its way out to the sea at Southwold Harbour.
Over the years the sea-walls have been breached and the land not
reclaimed, creating a tidal lagoon, Blythburgh Water, which is visited
by many mud-loving birds.

The village is bisected by the A12 road which is carried by an important
road bridge over the River Blyth. Roads radiate in all directions from Blythburgh
and the immediate area. This means Blythburgh is an excellent location, well
placed to access the inland and coastal delights of this part of Suffolk.
For those who prefer to walk there are local footpaths, notably including
those to Walberswick on
the coast or inland along the River Blyth to Wenhaston and Halesworth.

Blythburgh is steeped in history. Residents are very
proud of their village and retain a great sense of community, using both their
Village Hall and Holy Trinity Church as social and event venues. In particular
many classical concerts take place within Holy Trinity Church. For these
and other local events go to our Blythweb
Calendar.

Holy Trinity Church is a masterpiece of church building, acclaimed as
one of Suffolk's finest mediaeval churches. Read
here about the marks within the church of the stonemasons whose
skills are evident today. Inside, in addition to the wonderful 'angel roof'
there is much to wonder at, including a rare Jack-o-the-clock painted wooden
figure (pictured).

Standing on high ground overlooking the fields and marshland
of the Blyth Valley Holy Trinity Church is a memorable landmark. This is
especially so at night when floodlights create a magnificent image.

Close to the church is 'The Angel of the East', the Blythburgh village
sign. Read more here about how this
came about.
